So after we finished Ulduar tonight, I’m sure some of us were eager to get back into raiding. I’ve already spoke to some of you, and I know some were happy to get back involved. But I’d like to get a firm grasp of how many people are interested in raiding as a guild again. It would be handy for me to get get more comfortable with raiding, setting up events / leading / learning tactics. I think for now, we’ll start on one night a week, if there’s enough interest we may raise it to two nights a week.

So if you’re interested in getting involved with raiding, can you please list the following:

I definitely would be up for trying a little bit of raiding, but as the current raid is obviously the top of the expansion in terms of difficulty and given that most, if not all of us, have only just got back into WoW after a healthy absence, I’d say we temper our expectations. And if we get utterly stomped, maybe chill on the raiding until the new expansion comes out and see from there in terms of number people we have.

That being said, sign me up:

SamHiggy

Most Fridays/Saturdays

Early evening starts (7-8pm)

Resto Shammy, Healing (obviously)

Really shitty, unoptimized enhancement for DPS.

I’ve also just boosted a Pala, which I might use as secondary healer and also maybe learn to tank with in the future in case we need to fill a role, but I don’t know if I’d have enough time to properly level/gear for both the Shammy and Pala for different roles

I think we should do even the stuff we have already done again personally, to help get back in the swing of things.

So EN and Trials of Valour - they should be a lot easier now too but still worth doing, especially for some of the newer people and quite a lot of the EN mechanics will help me learn how my tanking partner plays.

We looking like we have the numbers, or at least close enough, may need to recruit a person depending on how consistent people are at committing to raiding. But we looking good to go for the time being.

There’s an Emerald Nightmare HC this Friday, would like to encourage anyone who’s interested in raiding who maybe hasn’t done much raiding before to get involved now. It’s much harder to learn through progression when you’ve got no raiding experience whatsoever
